A Reliable Source

In October 2008, I moved to my current location somewhere around Cambridgeshire. I receive a newsletter once a month from the friendly village Resident’s Association. Inside this newsletter there are letters to the editor printed on the first two pages.

If I was to get my only news from these letters, this is the knowledge I would have:

  • The District Council is pure evil. It is run by thieving, immoral, money-grabbers that do not think twice about any decision they make – especially in relation to planning permission or road conditions.
  • The same is true for the Parish Council.
  • The worst thing that could ever happen in a village is for a Barbers to be set-up.
  • The second worst thing that could happen in a village is for the Barbers to leave.
  • Lorry drivers are unable to correctly judge the size of their vehicle, are some of the worst drivers in the country, and routinely and deliberately hinder the lives of as many people as possible by parking their vehicle.
  • Two wind turbines equals a Wind Farm.
  • It is not necessary to know all the facts as long as you make up for it with adjectives.
  • People do not shop at Tesco’s, but Tesco’s likes to ruin people’s livelihoods.
  • The police can’t be trusted.
  • If a shop builds a wind turbine, the village can legally change its name to that of the shop.
  • People only like to get angry about things after they have happened.
  • Life is never boring.
